Skip Schumaker has undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.

Schumaker has been plagued by the shoulder issue for a big chunk of the season and finally decided to have it taken care of with an operation. He should be fine for the start of spring training in 2015.

Skip Schumaker went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox.

Schumaker's rare longball came in the fourth inning off of Anthony Ranaudo, and it was a long one. It was only Schumaker's second home run of the season and the seventh since the beginning of the 2011 campaign. He's hitting .244/.293/.327 for the Reds this season.

Skip Schumaker has passed his concussion tests, but has to wait on the league and players association to sign off on the results before he can be activated by the Reds.

It sounds as though Schumaker will return to the Reds this weekend, though it doesn't look like it will get done in time for Saturday's afternoon game. Before hitting the DL, he was slashing .240/.287/.315 with a homer and 14 RBI in 47 games.

Skip Schumaker (concussion) is expected to be activated immediately after the All-Star break.

He probably only needed a day or two after banging into the wall while trying to make a catch Thursday, but with the All-Star break coming up it made sense to go ahead and DL him. Schumaker will receive plenty of playing time at second base while Brandon Phillips (thumb) is out. "I needed at least a day," Schumaker said. "With the All-Star break coming up, seven days is actually three, which is kind of nice. With a limited bench, it wasn't real fair for me to take a day when we only have two guys (on the bench). We didn't need (pitcher) Manny Parra coming up in a big spot to hit."

Schumaker sustained the injury during Thursday's game. He had been seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base in Brandon Phillips' absence, but will now have to wait until after the All-Star break to get back on the field.

Skip Schumaker went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a stolen base Friday against the Brewers.

The three hits were a season-high. Reds manager Bryan Price continues to give Schumaker occasional starts in left field, but the 34-year-old hasn't done much with the opportunity. Even with his big game on Friday, he's batting just .256/.287/.333 on the year.

Skip Schumaker went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored from the leadoff spot Thursday against the Dodgers.

Bryan Price's Schumaker infatuation finally paid off today. The veteran entered the game in an 0-for-13 slump, leaving him at .209/.253/.279 in 86 at-bats since coming off the DL on May 3. In spite of his struggles, Schumaker has 25 at-bats this month, compared to 20 for Ryan Ludwick, 11 for Chris Heisey and six for Roger Bernadina. All four are fighting for time in left field, while some are also getting some at-bats elsewhere.

Skip Schumaker hit a two-run homer and walked from the leadoff spot for the Reds on Wednesday.

Schumaker should just go back on the DL now; this is as good as his Reds career is going to get. He's started the team's last three games with Jay Bruce out and gone 3-for-13 with a walk. Before going deep tonight, he had a total of five homers in 352 games since the beginning of 2011.

Schumaker will take over as the Reds' fifth outfielder and backup second baseman after going 5-for-12 with four doubles on his rehab assignment. He shouldn't be of any use in AL-only leagues unless someone ahead of him gets hurt.

Schumaker dislocated his left shoulder during an exhibition game on March 21. He's been taking batting practice in recent days, and he's now ready for game action. He'll go from there to a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. He's looking at an early- to mid-May return.

Schumaker took batting practice on the field Friday for the first time since dislocating his left shoulder. The one hurdle he has yet to clear is trying out some diving, though he thinks it "might be more mental than physical." Schumaker seems likely to return at the beginning of next month.

Parra has been on the disabled list for a week with a strained left elbow and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. "He still has a little bit of soreness in the back of his elbow, which is a little bit more like a bone bruise. It's providing some discomfort," Reds manager Bryan Price said.

Adock, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, suffered a full tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He'll likely be out until the second half of 2016. The 27-year-old had allowed 12 earned runs in 18 innings (13 relief appearances) this season for the Reds.

It was the first time he's thrown since undergoing surgery in May to repair a torn anterior capsule. "He looked normal, not like a guy coming off shoulder surgery. Pretty remarkable," Reds manager Bryan Price said. Despite Price's optimism, Marshall's appeal in free agency this winter figures to be limited give that he's coming off of a pair of shoulder operations.
